Zinc's atomic number is 30 and its symbol is Zn. Zinc is just silver in color at first glance but when you look closely you will notice a hint of blue. Zinc is also one of the main metals needed to make brass. The ancient Romans are famous for the early adoption of brass to make tools and weapons because of its easy moldability.

In modern times zinc is used to make a lot of different products including batteries, rubber, glow-in-the-dark paint, propellants, and tv screens. Zinc is an essential nutrient in animals as well. That can be found in vitamins as well as a variety of nuts and grains.

The combined weight of the hexagon-shaped zinc pellets is about half of an ounce.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.

Care Instructions

Wash with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean, soft cloth, or sponge. Rinse and blot dry with a damp cloth or chamois.

*Never use abrasive cleaners, household cleaners, window-cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths, or strong solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc.*

To maintain the brilliant luster of acrylic, wax and occasionally with a quality grade of automobile paste wax (NOT A CLEANER WAX COMBINATION.) Apply a thin coat with a clean, cotton flannel cloth. Then wipe with a clean damp cloth. NEVER USE HOUSEHOLD SPRAY WAXES.

Proudly made in the U.S.A.

Zinc is by far the best element

I also like plutonium. It's just fun to say, how is your plutonium? Good, thank you.
